The stopwatch in sh4 is a real immersion killer for me.

I believe the first watch with a quartz movement was the Seiko Quartz-Astron 35SQ, introduced in 1969. I would expect the vast majority of mechanical watch movements to have a "continuous sweep" second hand.

I'd love to see this mod, or be pointed in the general direction of how to go about modding it myself if it even sounds doable.
